Lyrics:

Well you think you’re aware
They’ll hate you regardless
How long you think you’d last
Living in an illusion?
This illusion tells me something
What I seek will never fill the glass

When you appeared
You looked so pure
Without that fame would you know who you are?
No-one

A risky bet
Relentless cause
When all they want is the nostalgia
No more

I’m finding out how lies take shape
Remember the times we were happy
Yeah
I don’t
I leave myself to blame

I like a child I play pretend
And live out reruns every day
Yeah
I
I’m never really there

A waiting room for my own death
What’s to say with nothing left?
Oh
I write these words that mean nothing
Force myself for only so
So long

So long

I’m finding out how lies take shape
Remember the times we were happy
Yeah
I don’t
I leave myself to blame

I like a child I play pretend
And live out reruns every day
Yeah
I
I’m never really there

Oh the chances all just fade away
Oh the chances all fade away
Oh the chances all just fade away
Oh the chances all just fade away

I’m finding out how lies take shape
Remember the times we were happy
Yeah
I don’t
I’m never really there

I like a child I play pretend
And live out reruns every day
Yeah
I
I leave myself to blame
